Yes. The continuing blockade was a big factor in Northern success, starving the Confederacy of war-supplies.
NEW RESPONDENT.
The Union Navy was able to increasingly limit the access of the Confederates ports to the blockade runners, reducing the flow of supplies for the South, what worsened more and more its ability to face its military needs.
But another aspect of the maritime war must be taken into consideration, that of the Confederates cruisers, whose action in the high seas against the Union merchant fleet, led to the virtual disappearance of the Union Flag from the international trading, whose place was soon taken by the British merchant marine and never more regained.
